Great to meet you!

With over 10 years of experience working with adolescents and families facing a wide range of mental health challenges, I bring a warm, direct, and genuine approach to therapy. My work is guided by curiosity, honesty, and a deep respect for each person’s unique story.

My approach to therapy

I believe that effective therapy starts with a strong, trusting relationship. Taking the time to build that foundation is my highest priority — because no amount of credentials or techniques matter if you don’t feel truly seen and heard.

What you can expect from me

In sessions, I balance compassion with humor, structure with flexibility, and evidence-based insight with real human connection. My goal is to create a space where you can be fully yourself as we explore challenges and work toward growth — together.
